Cable Bahamas Stars and GB Shipyard Wanderers to meet in Whirlpool Cup Final
After two dramatic and eventful semi finals , CableBahamas Stars and GB Shipyard Wanderers emerged victorious to contest the first Whirlpool Cup Final on Wednesday February 14th.
GB SHIPYARD WANDERERS 3 DYNAMO SMIT 2
The first game saw the Wanderers make some tactical changes before kick off to bolster their defence by moving Roger Johnson from midfield back to goalkeeper ( a position he starred in with the GBFL Men’s champions Brita Red Bulls). The change by coach Scott seemed to work as the Wanderers swept into a 3 goal lead with goals from Claudio Vietti, Ralston Francis and Riko Jean. All credit to the Dynamos however as they came back strongly with two goals to ensure a nervy last few minutes for the top seeded Wanderers before they booked their cup final berth.
CABLE BAHAMAS STARS 1 BORCO OILERS 1 aet ( Stars go through on penalties)
The second semi final saw the Cable Bahamas Stars scrape through against a gallant Borco Oilers. In a close contest with chances few and far between , The stars’ Denzil Deveaux opened the scoring with a sweetly struck half volley midway through the second half . This looked as though this would be enough to secure the win until a last gasp free kick from Tootx Sands looped over the outstretched arms of stand-in goalkeeper Andre Bethel who had a great game nonetheless . Extra time saw no more goals but , as the darkness descended , Wanderers held their nerve to convert all 3 of their penalty kicks to win the tie on penalties.

FREEPORT 60 BUCCS 0
After experiencing a disappointing defeat the previous Saturday Freeport went to work on the visiting team from Nassau with a passion so far unseen this season! From the kick off Perkins Joseph took a quick penalty and ran half the length of the pitch to score the opening try. Although Buccs were a weakened side it would have been easy for Freeport to lose concentration but this didn’t happen at anytime! Throughout the game the Freeport youngsters rucked, mauled, tackled and passed like young veterans and the final score reflected the dominance of the home side!

CABLE BAHAMAS STARS 1 DYNAMO SMIT 1
A last minute thunderbolt from Travis Yardie secured a point for Dynamo Smit in an entertaining game with very few opportunities and two goals created by geat pieces of individual skill.
In an attempt to shore up the defence , Coach Tommi moved star midfielder Yardie back to central defence and Michael Watkins in goal whilst Cable Bahamas Stars also came out with a defensive looking team in an attempt to stem a run of 3 games without a win.
The early intitative was definitely with Cable Bahamas as good work from Sam Taylor and Kevera Turnquest kept Dynamos under pressure. Good running from Andre Turnquest and Denzil Swain however meant that both teams went onto half time at nil: nil.
It took a piece of great skill from Denzil Deveaux on the left wing to put Stars ahead early in the second half. . Deveaux turned 2 defenders and whipped in a wonderful cross for Terry Augustin to head home for what looked like the winning goal . With seconds remaining however Yardie produced an unstoppable free kick which the keeper could only palm onto the post and into the goal for a deserved equalizer.
GB SHIPYARD WANDERERS 1 BORCO OILERS 2
Borco Oilers shocked the Shipyard Wanderers with a timely win to remind the league leaders that they are a force to be reckoned with.
Two goals from Kerlin Emile ( both of which being absolute belters) set the Oilers to a morale boosting victory . Roger Johnson scored one in reply for the Wanderers in a disappointing end to their winter campaign.
At the end of the regular Winter season , Wanderers finish top and now play Dynamo Smit in the play offs whilst Borco Oilers meet Cable Bahamas Stars : both games set for February 7th at 5pm .
Borco Oilers look strong but don’t count out The Wanderers just yet.
